4. David Montgomery, Chicago Bears (vs. NYG)

Similar to last year, David Montgomery is in the middle of a stretch of games against treacherous run defenses. He played Seattle last week and finished as the RB10 in PPR leagues. This week, he has the chance to do it again and then some against the lowly New York Giants.

Montgomery is a workhorse for Chicago, as he is second in the NFL in team snap percentage with 76.7%, only behind Najee Harris. Basically, he doesn’t leave the field. Combine that usage with the matchup against the Giants, who allow the ninth-most fantasy points to running backs and allow 125.3 yards per game and Montgomery is poised for another massive week.
